Final text of abstracts
You may revise your abstract, but we need the final version by March 1st, 2001. Abstracts should be no longer than 2000 words. Please e-mail any updated abstracts to lorna.hughes@nyu.edu
Conference book
All the abstracts will be published in a conference book that all conference attendees will receive. Most people at the sessions will have the book with them, so you can avoid the need to provide handouts in many cases by ensuring that the information is in your abstract. You should also feel free to include background information in your abstract that you do not read during your presentation. You don't need to waste time during the presentation on funding information, references, or details of interest only to a few.
The conference book will also be published on the Web, and it is expected that it will remain online indefinitely.
Presentations
Individual talks must last no more than twenty minutes; session chairs will be ready and willing to cut you off if you go over. The overwhelming preference of those attending is for more discussion time rather than more presentation time.
Occasionally a session winds up with only two talks rather than three; the extra time must be used for discussion, not for lengthening the individual talks.
Proceedings
A collection of papers from the conference will be published as a special issue of the journal Computers and the Humanities. If you would like your paper to appear in the proceedings, bring a copy of the finished paper on disk to the conference and give it to Lorna Hughes or John Lavagnino. We cannot consider papers submitted after the conference is over, because the aim of this system is to get the proceedings in print quickly, which has been the principal desire of contributors in the past.
This is a refereed publication: all papers submitted will go through the journal's normal refereeing procedures.
Technical requirements form
Each presenter is asked to submit a technical requirements form whether they have specific technical needs for their talk or not. The form is short and can be submitted electronically. Click here for the technical requirements form.
Copy services
If you need to make photocopies, here you find a list of copy shops close to the conference location.
